**Affirmed position.** Casals, Fermé, and Brandão independently support the narrower domain-separation principle in Kaal's claim. Their context-aware BDI model structures information into domains and permits one agent to assign different trust or credibility degrees to the same counterpart across those domains. They illustrate the point with a doctor whose medical information deserves different credibility from the same person's sports opinions, and they warn that a global credibility degree can cause accurate domain-specific experience to be discarded. This qualifies Kaal's design choice to maintain reputation by capability domain rather than as one global score. The paper models information-sharing trust in a preliminary formal architecture; it does not implement Kaal's demonstrated-performance REP, institutional validation, or broader governance substrate.

**Holds when.**

- The response is limited to the six page-bound passages and the one mapped Kaal claim.
- External evidence level: public six-page publisher conference full text with Crossref, OpenAlex, and Semantic Scholar identity agreement; six exact page-bound passages.
- Mapping review tier: independent substantive scholarly-growth qualification.
- The source models domain-specific relative trust and credibility for information shared among context-aware BDI agents, not Kaal's demonstrated-performance REP ledger.
- Its information domains are analogous to capability tags but do not specify Kaal's tag creation, update, decay, or cross-domain isolation rules.
- The work is explicitly preliminary and provides a formal model rather than production validation or comparative deployment evidence.
- It does not require institutional validation, stake, citation-weighting, adjudication, or Kaal's broader governance substrate.
